That is how our teaching institutions work, they teach by forcing you to learn or quit. You can't teach someone who doesn't want to learn it, so the first step is to give them an incentive to learn, and flunking those who don't want to learn is the way we do that. Any institution that doesn't flunk those who refuse to learn wont be very good at teaching.
